The First Step: Schedule a Discovery Flight

If you want to see if flying is right for you or are ready to take your very first lesson, our Discovery Flight is the best way to get a taste of what it is like to be an actual pilot. This “mini lesson” will give you hands-on flight experience that you can count towards your license.

During the discovery flight, you and one of our FAA-Approved Flight Instructors will spend about an hour together. You will learn about the aircraft, instruments, navigation systems, and safety.  After that, you will become the pilot and take the controls to experience the amazing freedom of flight. If you decide to pursue more training, the short time you spend in the air will count toward your license.

Paragon Flight is one of the best pilot schools in Florida and the nation. Whether you live in Florida or are an international student, contact us at (239) 274-3170 to explore our exceptional flight training programs or to schedule a Discovery Flight. We love to get new pilots in the air!
